Broward County leased a portion of Tigertail Lake in Dania Beach to BCC in 1975 so the college could begin a sailing program. A portable trailer and small boathouse were added later. The Otto M. Burckhardt Conference Center, dedicated in November 1986, was constructed for classes, workshops, seminars, meetings, and conferences with about 40 conferees.

The conference center building effort got a hand in construction from the administration and trustees. Dr. Katherine Hunter, the vice president for academic affairs, takes the lead from Dr. Adams in the art of driving nails.

Dr. Adams congratulates art professor Lamonte Anderson and his "Fatcats" intramural team, winners of the President's Intramural Cup.

The Floyd County Sound Bluegrass Band put the Tigertail boathouse to good use at the center's rededication ceremonies in November 1986.

With both the Fine Arts Theater and Bailey Hall, the college gained greater drawing power and attracted impressive names. Here, Trustee Sheldon Schlesinger chats with Vincent Price.

Richard Dreyfuss dons a jersey presented to him by F-Troop members during a visit to the college. The name on the back of the jersey refers to Dreyfuss's title role in the 1974 film The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, based on the 1959 book by Mordecai Richler.

In 1980, as part of the college's 20th birthday celebration, buildings on Central Campus were dedicated to honor individuals of importance to the college. The Central Campus administration building was named Joe B. Rushing Hall in honor of the founding president of the college.

Now retired and raising bulls in Texas, Joe Rushing still maintains ties to BCC.

Broward County civil attorney Sheldon J. Schlesinger served on the board of trustees from 1971 to 1987.

One of the greatest accomplishments of Dr. Adams was making the college a multicampus institution. He stands across East Las Olas Boulevard from the Downtown Center, dedicated in 1973 as the college administrative headquarters and an instructional site.
